If Qantas is an indication, it’s going to be a fiery AGM season

The Dive | Business News

Today, the Qantas board will be holding their annual general meeting. It’s a chance for shareholders to hold a mirror to the board and management after months of widespread anger - whether it be over former CEO Alan Joyce’s pay packet, regulatory investigation into cancelled flights, and lobbying the Australian government over competition from a competitor to bring more flights to Australia.

But as Capital Brief journalist Jack Derwin writes - this AGM season it feels like the stakes are a bit higher, and the pitchforks a little sharper. He joins Sascha today to talk about how the themes from the Qantas meeting are being felt by companies across the board. Pardon the pun.
